Classic Metal Gear Solid Will Soon Get a Co-Op Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/classic-metal-gear-solid-will-soon-get-a-co-op-mod/
It appears that YouTube’s ‘Felipe’ is currently working on a co-op mod for the first classic Metal Gear Solid game. And although there is no ETA for when it will come out, we have a trailer for it. So, if you are a die-hard MGS fan, you should definitely check it out.
In this trailer, we get to see two players working together in some areas. We also get to see the Ocelot fight, in which both players can inflict damage to him.
This is a cool mod that you might want to use to have some fun with your friends. It will obviously make the game easier, and it’s a cool way to re-experience the classic MGS. However, since it uses a top-down camera, it may be difficult for the second player to control his character.

First Look at The Witcher 3: Revenge of Ofir Fan Expansion
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/first-look-at-the-witcher-3-revenge-of-ofir-fan-expansion/
The modding team behind the Revenge of Ofir fan expansion for The Witcher 3 has released a gameplay video for it. This video gives us our first proper look at it. So, if you are a The Witcher 3 fan, you should definitely check it out.
Revenge of Ofir takes place after the events of Blood and Wine, with Geralt thinking about retirement at Corvo Bianco. It also ties back to the Hearts of Stone expansion.
The story explores the fallout from Geralt killing the Toad Prince in the sewers of Oxenfurt. The prince was actually a human who had been turned into the monster, and he was next in line for the Ofiri throne.
Geralt is then tricked into traveling to war-torn Ofir. There, he gets caught in a fight for power and must deal with the results of choices linked to Gaunter O’Dimm.
Revenge of Ofir will also add new characters, including Radeyah. She is an Ofiri sorceress and former aide to a past ruler. She becomes caught up in the struggle for power. Plus, the expansion will feature a new area and new quests.
Since this is a fan expansion, you should temper your expectations. It will not be as polished as the official expansions or the upcoming Songs of the Past. This is made by fans.
The Witcher 3: Revenge of Ofir fan expansion is targeting a 2027 release. However, we do not have a specific release window yet. So, it could arrive in late 2027, or it may slip into 2028.
>> The article has a 6 minutes video of this fan expansion.
